You can specify the source or sink device using a comma separated string of argument=value pairs. The always-up-to-date block documentation with examples is available right here.
Argument
Notes
fcd=<device-index>
0-based device identifier, optional
device=hw:2
overrides the audio device
type=2
selects the dongle type, 1 for Classic, 2 for Pro+
The "device" argument overrides the audio device used by the underlying driver to access the dongle's IQ sample stream.
The "type" argument selects the dongle type, 1 for Classic, 2 for Pro+.
Argument
Notes
osmosdr=<device-index>
0-based device identifier
buffers=<number-of-buffers>
Default is 32
buflen=<length-of-buffer>
Default is 256kB, must be multiple of 512
Argument
Notes
rtl=<device-index>
0-based device identifier OR serial number
rtl_xtal=<frequency>
Frequency (Hz) used for the RTL chip, accepts eng notation
tuner_xtal=<frequency>
Frequency (Hz) used for the tuner chip, accepts eng notation
buffers=<number-of-buffers>
Default is 32
buflen=<length-of-buffer>
Default is 256kB, must be multiple of 512
direct_samp=0|1|2
Enable direct sampling mode on the RTL chip. 0: Disable, 1: use I channel, 2: use Q channel
offset_tune=0|1
Enable offset tune mode for E4000 tuners
NOTE: use rtl_eeprom -s to program your own serial number to the device
NOTE: if you don't specify rtl_xtal/tuner_xtal, the underlying driver will use 28.0MHz
Argument
Notes
rtl_tcp=<hostname>:<port>
hostname defaults to "localhost", port to "1234"
psize=<payload-size>
Default is 16384 bytes
direct_samp=0|1|2
Enable direct sampling mode on the RTL chip 0=Off, 1=I-ADC input enabled, 2=Q-ADC input enabled
offset_tune=0|1
Enable offset tune mode for E4000 tuners
Argument
Notes
miri=<device-index>
0-based device identifier
buffers=<number-of-buffers>
Default is 32
Argument Notes
uhd
Use this argument without a value
nchan=<channel-count>
For multichannel USRP configurations use the subdev parameter to specify stream mapping
subdev=<subdev-spec>
Examples: "A:0", "B:0", "A:0 B:0" when nchan=2. Refer original ettus documentation on this
lo_offset=<frequency>
Offset frequency in Hz, must be within daughterboard bandwidth. Accepts eng notation
Additional argument/value pairs will be passed to the underlying driver, for more information see specifying the subdevice and common device identifiers in the Ettus documentation.
Argument
Notes
bladerf[=0]
0-based device identifier (optional)
fw='/path/to/the/firmware.img'
program MCU firmware from given file. usually not needed. power cycle required.
fpga='/path/to/the/bitstream.rbf'
load FPGA bitstream from given file. required only at first run at the moment.
Argument
Notes
hackrf
Use this argument without a value
buffers=<number-of-buffers>
Default is 32
Only the first device found may be used at the moment because of libhackrf limitation.
Transmit support has been verified by using the crc-mmbTools DAB sdr transmitter.
Argument
Notes
file=<path-to-file-name>
freq=<frequency>
Center frequency in Hz, accepts eng notation
rate=<sampling-rate>
Mandatory, in samples/s, accepts eng notation
repeat=true|false
Default is true
throttle=true|false
Throttle flow of samples, default is true
